I think we have this all wrong. we have a tax code that is so out of control. What we need is a flat tax for individuals and corporations. No thousands of pages of exceptions, deductions, get arounds. If you make very little you pay very little, if you make a lot you pay a lot period. (This is like the widow's mite) One of the problems I see is we have many who are not supporting the government. If you live in this country you should be required to contribute to the support of the government. Now I realize that we have an out of control and bloated government - that is another problem that needs to be addressed. We do need laws or rules to keep greedy corporations from figuring out ways to take profits out of the US, but again that is because of all the loop holes and wiggle room in our current system.
